Soldiers from the ADF, U.S. Marines, Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, and Royal Marine Commandos participated in a combined joint night-time air and ground operation in Bowen, Queensland as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre 2021 (TS21).
The fictitious exercise saw U.S. Marine Corps arrive in Ospreys to launch a ground assault on Bowen airfield, while soldiers from the ADF, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force and Royal Marines fought alongside each other during a night-time raid on an abandoned coal processing facility, before clearing the Bowen showground.
Held every two years, TS21 is the largest bilateral training activity between Australia and the United States, aimed to test Australian interoperability with the United States and other participating forces in complex warfighting scenarios. In addition to the United States, TS21 involves participating forces from Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
